Through firsthand accounts and quantitative data drawn from extensive interviews, this book brings forward the experiences of federally incarcerated people living their "golden years" behind bars. These experiences show the limited ability of the system to respond to heightened needs, while also raising questions about how international and national laws and policies are applied, and why they fail to ensure the safety and well-being of incarcerated individuals. In so doing, Adelina Iftene explores the shortcomings of institutional processes, prison-monitoring mechanisms, and legal remedies available in courts and tribunals, which leave prisoners vulnerable to rights abuses. Some of the problems addressed in this book are not new; however, the demographic shift and the increase in people dying in prisons after long, inadequately addressed illnesses, with few release options, adds a renewed sense of urgency to reform. Working from the interview data, contextualized by participants' lived experiences, and building on previous work, Iftene seeks solutions for such reform, which would constitute a significant step forward not only in protecting older prisoners, but in consolidating the status of incarcerated individuals as holders of substantive rights."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Older prisoners $x Civil rights $z Canada. 650 0 $a Older prisoners $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Prisons $x Government policy $z Canada. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z Canada. 650 6 $a Prisonniers ages $x Droits $z Canada. 650 6 $a Prisonniers ages $x Droit $z Canada. 650 6 $a Prisons $x Politique gouvernementale $z Canada. 650 6 $a Justice $x Administration $z Canada. 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a Prisons $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077363 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013002.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FCFC36FC083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
